INDEPENDENCE DAY

Once upon a time in an island called the Land of Promise
The gods of freedom allowed to grant one ancient wish
A mother was to give birth to a male baby
When this country celebrated its Independence Day

That little boy must grow up with all sufferings
So his heart will understand his people's pain
He is to grow full of trials and failure
He needs to be toughened inside and secure

He will roam for adventure all over the country
Armed only with kindness, courage and honesty
He will not be lucky in love or in money
He is to become depressed and learn poetry

He will start writing poems that only tickles emotions
But writing brutally honest poetry is his true mission
He will use words that will shame the hypocrites
Especially those who are in religious and government leadership

He will earn lots friends and face dangerous enemies
He will fight tooth and nail with piercing words and toughness
People will slowly awaken and finally see the truth
This nation was never free from the devils clout

There will be rising against corruption with great anger
The thieves and power grabber will literally run for fear
Because enlightenment from darkness is meant to be
When that day comes we can celebrate a true Independence Day.
